1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Dual-flow continuous culture (CC) fermenters are commonly used to study rumen fermentation in vitro. Research using culture-based and oligonucleotide techniques has shown that certain microbial populations within fermenters may be maintained at abundances similar to those observed in vivo. In this study, bacterial and archaeal communities in the rumen of dairy cattle and in a dual-flow CC fermentation system were compared using high-throughput amplicon sequencing targeting the V4 hypervariable region of 16S rRNA. We hypothesized that the in vitro system harbored a comparable bacterial and archaeal community to that observed in the rumen. Members of the Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes made up the 2 most abundant phyla in the rumen, inoculum, and fermenters and did not differ among sample types (P > 0.10). Similarly, Prevotellaceae, the most abundant family in all 3 sample types, did not differ based on source (P = 0.80). However, beta diversity analyses revealed that bacterial and archaeal communities differed between fermenters and rumen samples (P ≤ 0.001), but fermenter bacterial and archaeal communities stabilized by day 4 of each period. While the overall bacterial and archaeal community differs between natural rumens and those detected in in vitro fermenter systems, several prominent taxa were maintained at similar relative abundances suggesting that fermenters may provide a suitable environment in which to study shifts among the predominant members of the microbial community.
